I’ve done this before too. Had to fly to Edinburgh and we only knew the bride.
We figured we could do touristy shit the day before and then endure the wedding the day after. Only our flight got delayed by about 5 hours so it was nighttime before we got there.
That was awful. Just had to latch onto a couple who also didn’t know anyone and chat to them all day and night.
I want to be one of those people that can just start chatting to anyone.
But at the same time really glad I’m not.
Every wedding is the worst wedding.
No longer having to attend such stupid events is one of the very rare things I like about Covid. Well, the only thing I like about it, but I really like it.
On reflection and comparing to what I’ve heard about others and one I went to since, I’m so happy mine was the way it was. 35-40 people, nobody was more than 1 link away from anyone else, no dress code, no weird traditional wedding bullshit like awkward speeches or first dances, had a big fire, a pizza oven and plenty of booze from Aldi.
Wife’s aunt, uncle, cousin and neice all got it now. All the adults were double-jabbed too, and the aunt already lost her mum to it a few months ago.
Still though, Linda Bauld, Professor of Public Health at Edinburgh University, reassures us that “I think it will hopefully settle down”. So that’s probably fine.
Has anyone heard of anyone having changes in women’s period’s and affecting contraception?
GF’s whole thing has been affected quite a lot, luckily I have had the snip so no chance of a surprise baby but she knows 2 couples that have just had surprise news that were very solid in their contraception routine for years. Of course, this is kinda minor compared to DEATH etc.
Obviously the only option for anyone was to have the vaccine, no question but it does pose a legitimacy to the typical anti vax rhetoric of “they developed it too fast” etc.
It had to be rolled out quickly but there must be side affects that were overlooked or let through in order to make it in time. There is a lot of trust we have to conjure up in order to blindly go for a vaccine that has been presented in this way but we have no choice, we’re not in a position or capable to draw our own conclusion, we just have/need to take it. You’d hope that it’s been through enough morally straight judgements for it to be passed for use. Saying that though, and even though I would say i’m not so much pessimistic I hope i’m more optimistic with a decent reality compass, It’s just hard to trust a humans motives, morals or knowledge purely in order to be 100% confident.
So, I totally understand the anti vax stance (although I do not agree) but at the same time I understand the right thing to do. The main factor with anti vaxxers is not the actual info, misinfo, questions etc, we all have them, it’s simply down to selfishness and thinking out themselves and not the bigger picture.
Is any contraception 100% fail proof? It’s funny but those things seem to happen in twos or threes randomly. Such is life. Maybe they’ve been doing it more too with less going on these covid days and did miss taking it on the day they were meant too? Could be many reasons.
Of course but at the same time these people are noticing obvious changes, checked timings, have confidence on track record and are not anti vaxxers i.e. not looking for holes. Just their lives have changed due to something and the only change has been the vaccine. So maybe lets not be 100% on either side, I think being so self assured either side of the argument is kinda scary. Can you say with 100% confidence that the vaccine has been through every test with every eventuality covered? No, no one can. With human’s track record with medicine it’s not something we can be blind to but we have to trust enough regardless.
Have they also had covid ? Considering the vaccine is part covid to induce protection.
Just look at long covid and people losing smell and taste . It’s a virus that has changed many normal things in us .
GF hasn’t had covid and no idea if the others have. Covid has definitely changed things for people. The way I smell things has definitely changed. A close friend was really knocked around by covid. Doctors said if he didn’t have his first jab he might not be here but of course, that’s something you can never know.
Pretty sure I’d trust a doctor than Baz on Facebook.
fuck off! ha. who the fucks talking about Baz off facebook?
You’re being a little bit naive but in the opposite way of anti vaxxers, equally closed minded and stupid to be honest.
It’s like you’re telling that girl who lost her leg at Alton Towers that she didn’t have an accident at all, you’re suggesting someone told her that the reason she lost her leg is because she could have been on a rollercoaster. You’re saying this because they never happen. Sure it’s rare, very rare, the things are built so well that the margin for error is so tiny it’s never a risk BUT adding in human error, these things have happened, you cannot escape this fact.
It’s not a bad analogy because you should trust that the vaccine/rollercoaster is safe and it is just know that there is the very tiny risk of the unknown, the freak incident, exception to the rule. If you don’t consider these things then fucking hell… might as well join a march and draw up a placard.
We all have moments of doubt and maybe it’s healthy to talk about it, but that’s more about us than modern medicine not working or doctors not knowing what a sick person looks like, haha.
No mate, you’re sticking your fingers in your ears. I’m not having any doubts, i’m just pointing out possibilities not facts. You’ve already decided what side i’m on without reading.
I checked on the website Google and it showed me this:
Seems normal. I wouldn’t worry.
Ah, real science has the answer!
Boffins over Baz anyday.
edit: I know cuntflambe isn’t on social media, just a joke
Do you think I’d not googled it? I was asking if anyone knew of any real people to get personal opinion/experience. I think having a baby you hadn’t planned for is a big deal especially for touring musicians who travel the world regularly for their job. It kinda puts a spanner in the works even if it’s a lovely thing in other ways.
lets tell the girl who lost her leg “it’s fine, your prosthetic looks amazing!”
Do you know why you remember that story about the girl losing her leg, because it’s so rare it got a big deal made about it. If rollercoasters were killing and maiming people on the daily, they’d be banned or it’d become too blasé too report about as it was so common. So are you saying the vaccine going wrong would be just as rare? If not I don’t get the comparison?
